  1. Re:Paki dothead asians or chinky gook asians? on US Department of Labor Is Suing Peter Thiel's Startup 'Palantir' For Discriminating Against Asians (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Very few Pakis are "dot heads" and those who are suffer great discrimination as well as rapes and physical attacks from the muzzies. Of course any organisation tracking down terrorists would have to turn away the majority of Pakistanis.

  2. Different targets on Activity Trackers May Undermine Weight Loss Efforts, Says Study (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    If you are told "walk five miles a day" you will walk an additional five miles. If you are told "walk 10,000 paces a day" you will walk as much as you need to top up the steps from wandering around, random movements, etc. up to 10,000

  3. solely or primarily to kill or harm humans on UK Standards Body Issues Official Guidance On Robot Ethics (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    "Robots should not be designed solely or primarily to kill or harm humans."

    Defense contractor: Meet destructor - our coffee-serving robot, who incidentally can also fire fragmentation grenades from his finger-tips, rip an enemy soldier to pieces, and breathe fire.

  4. Sharia code: Evidently on Abu Dhabi To Introduce New Regulations For Ride-Hailing Apps (reuters.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Evidently some of the drivers weren't raping infidel women passengers.

  5. Quire a stir... on Google's New Angular 2.0 Isn't Compatible With Angular 1 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    When Google announced Angular 2 in 2014, it created quite a stir in the web development community because this new version wasn't just an update, but instead a complete rewrite that wasn't compatible with the older version

    Such a stir that it was noticed by Slashdot in 2016

  6. Re:Reading too much /. on EU Court Blocks Brazilian Company From Trademarking Sound Of a Ringing Phone (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I hereby patent everything. Give me all your money.

    I've already patented patents. You give me all of your money

    I've patented money, give me all your .... umm

  7. Re:aggression inevitable? on North Korea Conducts Fifth Nuclear Test -- The Largest One Yet (cnn.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Can we assume that one day North Korea will attack something? I've always thought that they're just posturing, but this most recent "test" makes me hesitate...

    I am much less worried about them than Muslim countries with the bomb. North Korean rulers are ruthless and power hungry but rational to the degree that they don't want to be wiped out in a counter-strike. Many Muslims would see a counter-strike as an advantage, with millions of people becoming martyrs and getting their millions * 27 virgins.

  8. Cash in a brown paper envelope on Ask Slashdot: What Are Anonymous Ways To Pay For Goods and Services? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Cash in a brown paper envelope. If it's good enough for our politicians then it's good enough for me.

  9. Re:Why 3D? on Japan To Develop 3D Maps For Self-Driving Cars (nikkei.com) · · Score: 2

    I wasn't sure about that, but at a guess a couple of times I have had my GPS think I am on a smaller road underneath a flyover (elevated highway) and tell me to make a turning that can be made from the road below but not the flyover

  10. I like the idea of a basic income... but on Finland Prepares Their First Tests Of A Universal Basic Income (futurism.com) · · Score: 2

    I like the idea of a basic income, but I don't know how it can be made to work without the government controlling a lot of other things. If you give everyone $600 extra I would bet that things like rental costs, utilities, etc. would just expand to take the extra money. We have seen how this works with the extra income with women entering the workforce. As soon as you have limited resources or monopolies the prices will increase as everyone will be able to spend more.

    Unless you want to introduce rent controls, fair prices for utilities, etc. costs will just go up

  11. Re:"Object Recognition Technology" on Microsoft Helps Develop Smart, IoT-Enabled Refrigerators (microsoft.com) · · Score: 2

    This would be much easier to do if all the items purchased in a supermarket had some kind of machine-readable label that linked to a database holding the product information and price...

    You mean like a bar code that they could scan at the checkout?

  12. When will people realise on Whither Tor? Building the Next Generation of Anonymity Tools (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

  13. Now all we need is a post about OpenBSD on PC-BSD Follows a Rolling Release Model, Gets Renamed To TrueOS · · Score: 1

    Now all we need is a post about OpenBSD then we'll have the full set. Maybe changing to SafeOS??

  14. Re: BSD on the rise on PC-BSD Follows a Rolling Release Model, Gets Renamed To TrueOS · · Score: 1

    On the rise? Like a zombie that gets up and walks around?

    No that's Xenix

  15. Re:So, really seems to be "ride-sharing" on Google To Take On Uber With New Ride-Share Service (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    According to their paki CFO they are.

    Diverted into ISI and ISIL ... which are really the same thing

  16. "Please don't give us that billion dollars we're told you owe us" said no one ever...except Ireland.

    The thing is they probably got another billion in tax because Google was using them to sell into Europe. If they hadn't come up with this scheme Google would have probably gone somewhere else and they'd have got nothing ... not to mention the employment, wages, etc.

  17. We'll build a firewall and send the bill to the Muslims

  18. Just the thing to wash down my Soylent Green.

  19. Re:It was a terrible deal for Britain anyway on China To UK: 'Golden' Ties At Crucial Juncture Over Nuclear Delay (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Given that the wholesale price being guaranteed by the government for each kWh was massively higher than even the price consumers are expected to be paying when it was due to open I see no reason to go ahead with it. Energy prices should be dropping not climbing as we have better renewables being developed.

    Yes but quite a few politicians would have got backhanders, erm I mean consultation fees

  20. .... but I checked the Travel advice for Turkey and it said that it was fine!

  21. Re:Its an excuse on North Korea Hopes To Plant Flag On The Moon Within 10 Years (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Much as I'd like to support Israeli companies, I don't know what I'd use this for. Maybe a wifi repeater?

  24. It improved security for me on Frequent Password Changes Are the Enemy Of Security, FTC Technologist Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It improved security for me. It forced me to go from "password" to "password1". I'm up to "password7" now
